He said: “The investment, which includes funding to improve access to properties, will improve performance and help householders maintain back courts and common areas.

“We’re ensuring a better waste and recycling collection service for residents by improving the standard and capacity of bins. This investment also ensures residents in flats have the same access to and provision of services as those in other property types.”

Councillor McAveety added: “Residents don’t want unsightly backcourts and having better bins and increased storage capacity will help people to recycle more and help keep our city’s landfill costs down.

“The Scottish Government’s Zero Waste Plan sets everyone in Glasgow very challenging targets for how much we need to recycle.

“We want to encourage more recycling among flatted properties and this investment will help residents to do so.”
